Crowdfunding Your Honeymoon Instead of Wedding Gifts? KISS Listeners Weigh In!

Recently I made a post on Facebook about a couple I saw crowdfunding their honeymoon asking for donations towards that instead of gifts for their wedding. It took me back for a second, but the more I thought about it, the more I think they're onto something! It generated a LOT of conversation! Let me know what YOU think!!

Here's what I think:

I'm at that age where half of my friends are getting married and the other half can't find their phones... I'm the latter haha! But I'm extremely versed in wedding guestness because I have attended an INSANE amount of weddings the last two years.  I'm going to be real, I'm a terrible gift giver. I usually don't have time to go to a store, find your registry, then try to find something within my price range that hasn't been bought yet so I'm usually the terrible friend that shows up with a nice card and money in it.  So I kind of love the idea of having your friends instead of bringing you gifts giving to your honeymoon fund, it makes it easy for them, and lets be honest it's less returning you have to do when you get duplicate gifts! So I'm on board with this! I think it's great! But I also think oldschool works well too, I really don't see a downside to this or to the oldschool method.  Personally as a guest the easier the gift the better haha!

Here's what a few KISS listeners said:

Laura Miles Porter Years ago, I bought friends of mine a portion of a day-trip on their honeymoon, dinner on a boat cruise in Sydney Harbor (Australia). She told me later that another friend bought the other half and some others bought them a snorkeling trip the same week. She remarked that those were MUCH more memorable than towels and toasters

Travis Tornatore Innovative. Couples are living together before they get married and already have a ton of household stuff.

Jessica Kuryla Ignacio Super tacky!!

Dezarae Sandleben We registered at a bank and nowhere else. Ended up with over 2000. Honeymoon was paid for completely.

Kathy Greenwell Better than getting five ice cream freezers and seven cheese ball servers like I did when I got married!!

Patti Schindler Buck I typically give cash, but I think it's tacky to request money. After all, it is a gift, not a requirement.
